How do you calculate functions like exe^x, extsin(x) ext{sin}(x), or extcos(x) ext{cos}(x) at any given xx value?

Prove the Weierstrass approximation theorem, which states that for any continuous function defined on a closed interval, there exists a sequence of polynomials that converges uniformly to the function on that interval.

Given a continuous function on the interval [0, 1], show that Bernstein polynomials converge uniformly to the function as n goes to infinity.

Define an injective map and a surjective map.

Show that a map from the natural numbers to the square numbers, defined by mapping xx to x2x^2, is bijective.

Prove the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem: Every bounded sequence has a convergent subsequence.

Consider whether the converse of the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem is true: If a sequence has a convergent subsequence, then it is bounded. Give an example of an unbounded sequence that has a convergent subsequence.

Prove that any bounded sequence has a subsequence that converges.

Given a sequence, determine if it is both bounded and monotonic. If it is, prove that it converges.
